Improved means for web access

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to data processing, and more specifically to a web identifier that embeds an instruction set for navigating through one or more World-Wide-Web (WWW) pages, and a specialized web browser for processing the web identifier.

1 . A computing system for enabling a computer program to handle (where handle includes and is not limited to sending, receiving, processing, or navigating) information of multiple web pages comprising: 
 means for inserting a instruction set at the client;    means for processing the instruction set by utilizing a specialized processor, where the processor evaluates the information in order to decide which instruction to execute next without user intervention.    
   
   
       2 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein information may be local, may be on the web, or may be a combination of both.  
   
   
       3 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein the user inserts the instruction set.  
   
   
       4 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein the operating system inserts the instruction set.  
   
   
       5 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein an application program inserts the instruction set.  
   
   
       6 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the instruction set navigates to a conventional URL when a specialized processor is not present.  
   
   
       7 . A system as in  claim 1 , where the computer program activates off of a predetermined extension.  
   
   
       8 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein one or more computing devices contain a executable computer program to perform the functions in  claim 1 .  
   
   
       9 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein the instruction set is embedded in a web identifier, referred to herein as an ARROW.  
   
   
       10 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds an instruction set for executing a program flow.  
   
   
       11 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds an encryption of the instruction set, to prevent observation of instructions or navigation information.  
   
   
       12 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds a header, enabling integration into traditional browsers.  
   
   
       13 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds a trailer, enabling integration into operating systems.  
   
   
       14 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds instructions to set up a mapped network drive on a local computing device.  
   
   
       15 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds instructions to generate a set of machine-locked credentials to be transmitted.  
   
   
       16 . A system as in  claim 9  wherein the ARROW embeds an instruction that allows only one-time execution of its instructions.  
   
   
       17 . A system as in  claim 1  wherein the processor for processing the instruction set is a specialized browser, referred to herein as an ARROW PROCESSOR.  
   
   
       18 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR extracts instructions from the ARROW.  
   
   
       19 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR extracts non-instruction, supporting information from the ARROW.  
   
   
       20 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR executes a instruction set: 
 sending information to a remote or local machine;    receiving information from a remote or local machine;    executes next instruction, possibly using information contained in (a) &/or (b) to determine which next instruction to get;    repeats above steps to completion.    
   
   
       21 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR integrates (dispatching and/or receiving instructions) to a traditional browser.  
   
   
       22 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR integrates (dispatching and/or receiving instructions) to operating system.  
   
   
       23 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR displays graphically.  
   
   
       24 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein the ARROW PROCESSOR is used to handle information selected from the group consisting of: banking services, military services, intelligence-gathering services, universities and collaborators, medical services, and legal services.  
   
   
       25 . A system as in  claim 17  wherein one or more ARROW PROCESSORs on one or more local computing devices communicates with one or more ARROW PROCESSORs on one or more remote servers, forming an ARROW PROCESSOR network.  
   
   
       26 . A system as in  claim 24  wherein an ARROW PROCESSOR manages services among a plurality of computing devices, some of which may be equipped with their own ARROW PROCESSORs.  
   
   
       27 . A system as in  claim 24  wherein an ARROW PROCESSOR network enables one computing device to upload a file to a server, and another computing device to download the same file while the upload is in process.
